Career
After a brief career in the adult film industry under the pseudonym Risi Simms, Katz began cosplaying professionally after winning IGN’s Best Cosplay at WonderCon 2012.
In 2013, Katz undertook a crowdfunding effort to fund a cosplay outfit, raising US$4,690 (equivalent to $5,148 in 2019), starting from her original goal of US$650 (equivalent to $713 in 2019). This prompted a debate in some circles on the use of crowdfunding for cosplay.
Playboy ranked Katz as the fifth sexiest cosplayer in 2014. FHM ranked her as the fourth sexiest cosplayer in 2016. Katz has since featured prominently at many cons and other events.
Katz has appeared in a number of Sam Macaroni's works and had over 1,000,000 Instagram followers as of December 2019.
